question is the jade also on your back??

ah, sorry for giving poor advice. i did look at more pics of people doing it and they are way more tilted than i am. i have to re try this now.

i find that you really have to focus on keeping it closer to your hip other wise the pressure ends up pushing on your ribs and it def hurts. i'm actually short too 5 ft 1in so i can relate with needing to be precise with getting into the move correctly

oh wow my friends and i always joked that one of our friends is asexual and I did not think that theres actually a community of people who are asexual….but yes she always talks about how if she wants to get married or if she were toget married that she doesn't want to have any sexual aspect of it.  She just wants it to be like they're friends but married.  She still sometimes says that a guy is attractive though.

also make sure that your skin isn’t twisted and i second the squeezing https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

the way amyxshi is the only other way i remember seeing someone get out of it but i just have to say fetus on a stick lmao seriously laughed in the library right now….yes yes i know i’m supposed to be studying

i think others call it sad girl drop, but yours is so much better

i actually just got this a few weeks ago and can do it comfortably now

what helped me was to let first make sure that you have a secure grip with the top knee
then i hooked my feet before getting the bottom knee in the right spot

as far as the sliding of the bottom knee. i actually let mine slide down a little bit so that more of my leg is in contact with the pole.

i had a much harder time when i didn’t let it slide down and when i tried to keep my knees closer together.

congrats!!!

i get frustrated too..i’m super impatient and always want a new trick down right away, but i’ve only been poling for 3 months so i have a long way to go

ive had mine for 1.5 yrs so its healed and never hurts

when i wear a shirt i don’t take it out but when i only wear my sportbra i take it out so i don’t scratch the pole or get it caught on anything which i’m so scared about.

maybe urs just needs to heal a little more
